A Weekend Missed, Pillion Getting Rusty


Tightwad

1,718 views

After 2 weeks in a row of surprised riding, we had to take a weekend off. Unfortunantly, I am to blame. My poor VFR wore out her shoes, to the point I wasn't comfortable having my wife ride.

This isn't even all....this weekend we will be driving the Family to Tulsa for the Tulsa-BYU game (go Cougars!)...so we will miss 2 weekends.

Meg is not impressed that it costs $350 for 2 new tires out the door...I guess selling her on the motorcycle as a money saver isn't working so well. At this point she is just agreeing to it because she knows it makes me happy...at least she thinks of me!

I bought a harbor freight tire changer, aprox $100 it paid for itself after 3 sets of tires. I ride alot so its saved me alot of money over the years. I can change a set of tires in less than an hour by myself and be on the road. Of corse you need an aircompressor, tire irons, and some soapy water, I used antifreeze instead of soapywater.

I order online from various sources, swmototire.com most often, never pay more than $250 a set, 2 tires = free shipping too.

I will be doing this next time. I hear the Mojo bar makes a huge difference as well. This time I was stuck and in a hurry...this is my commuter so I couldn't wait.
